| precious--of inestimable value. The Greek order is, "With precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish (in itself) and without spot (contracted by contact with others), (even the blood) of Christ." Though very man, He remained pure in Himself ("without blemish"), and uninfected by any impression of sin from without ("without spot"), which would have unfitted Him for being our atoning Redeemer: so the passover lamb, and every sacrificial victim; so too, the Church, the Bride, by her union with Him. As Israel's redemption from Egypt required the blood of the paschal lamb, so our redemption from sin and the curse required the blood of Christ; "foreordained" (Pe1 1:20) from eternity, as the passover lamb was taken up on the tenth day of the month. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
But with the precious blood of Christ - On the use of the word blood, and the reason why the efficacy of the atonement is said to be in the blood, see the notes at Rom 3:25. The word "precious" (τίμιος timios) is a word which would be applied to that which is worth much; which is costly. Compare for the use of the noun (τιμή timē) in this sense, Mat 27:6, "The price of blood;" Act 4:34; Act 5:2-3; Act 7:16. See also for the use of the adjective, (τίμιος timios,) Rev 17:4, "gold and precious stones" Rev 18:12, "vessels of most precious wood." Rev 21:11, "a stone most precious." The meaning here is, that the blood of Christ had a value above silver and gold; it was worth more, to wit:
(1) in itself - being a more valuable thing - and,
(2) in effecting our redemption. It accomplished what silver and gold could not do. The universe had nothing more valuable to offer, of which we can conceive, than the blood of the Son of God.
As of a lamb - That is, of Christ regarded as a lamb offered for sacrifice. See the notes at Joh 1:29.
Without blemish and without spot - Such a lamb only was allowed to be offered in sacrifice, Lev 22:20-24; Mal 1:8. This was required:
(1) because it was proper that man should offer that which was regarded as perfect in its kind; and,
(2) because only that would be a proper symbol of the great sacrifice which was to be made by the Son of God. The idea was thus kept up from age to age that he, of whom all these victims were the emblems, would be perfectly pure. |

But with the precious blood of Christ
The word Χριστοῦ, of Christ, stands at the end of the sentence, and is emphatic. Render, as Rev., with precious blood as of a lamb, etc., even the blood of Christ.
Lamb
Peculiarly appropriate from Peter. See Joh 1:35-42. The reference is to a sacrificial lamb.
Without blemish (ἀμώμου)
Representing the Old-Testament phrase for absence of physical defect (Exo 12:5; Lev 22:20, Compare Heb 9:14).
Without spot (ἀσπίλου)
Compare Ti1 6:14; Jam 1:27; Pe2 3:14. In each case in a moral sense. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Without blemish - In himself. Without spot - From the world. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The precious blood of Christ - Τιμιῳ αἱματι· The valuable blood; how valuable neither is nor could be stated.
As of a lamb - Such as was required for a sin-offering to God; and The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
Without blemish - In himself, and without spot from the world; being perfectly pure in his soul, and righteous in his life. |
20 Who verily [3303] was foreordained [4267] before [4253] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889], but [1161] was manifest [5319] in [1909] these last [2078] times [5550] for [1223] you [5209],
8 And if ye offer [05066] the blind [05787] for sacrifice [02076], is it not evil [07451]? and if ye offer [05066] the lame [06455] and sick [02470], is it not evil [07451]? offer [07126] it now unto thy governor [06346]; will he be pleased [07521] with thee, or accept [05375] thy person [06440]? saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
20 But whatsoever hath a blemish [03971], that shall ye not offer [07126]: for it shall not be acceptable [07522] for you.
21 And whosoever [0376] offereth [07126] a sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002] unto the LORD [03068] to accomplish [06381] his vow [05088], or a freewill offering [05071] in beeves [01241] or sheep [06629], it shall be perfect [08549] to be accepted [07522]; there shall be no blemish [03971] therein.
22 Blind [05788], or broken [07665], or maimed [02782], or having a wen [02990], or scurvy [01618], or scabbed [03217], ye shall not offer [07126] these unto the LORD [03068], nor make [05414] an offering by fire [0801] of them upon the altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068].
23 Either a bullock [07794] or a lamb [07716] that hath any thing superfluous [08311] or lacking in his parts [07038], that mayest thou offer [06213] for a freewill offering [05071]; but for a vow [05088] it shall not be accepted [07521].
24 Ye shall not offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068] that which is bruised [04600], or crushed [03807], or broken [05423], or cut [03772]; neither shall ye make [06213] any offering thereof in your land [0776].
29 The next day [1887] John [2491] seeth [991] Jesus [2424] coming [2064] unto [4314] him [846], and [2532] saith [3004], Behold [2396] the Lamb [286] of God [2316], which [3588] taketh away [142] the sin [266] of the world [2889].
11 Having [2192] the glory [1391] of God [2316]: and [2532] her [846] light [5458] was like [3664] unto a stone [3037] most precious [5093], even like [5613] a jasper [2393] stone [3037], clear as crystal [2929];
12 The merchandise [1117] of gold [5557], and [2532] silver [696], and [2532] precious [5093] stones [3037], and [2532] of pearls [3135], and [2532] fine linen [1040], and [2532] purple [4209], and [2532] silk [4596], and [2532] scarlet [2847], and [2532] all [3956] thyine [2367] wood [3586], and [2532] all manner [3956] vessels [4632] of ivory [1661], and [2532] all manner [3956] vessels [4632] of [1537] most precious [5093] wood [3586], and [2532] of brass [5475], and [2532] iron [4604], and [2532] marble [3139],
4 And [2532] the woman [1135] was [2258] arrayed [4016] in purple [4209] and [2532] scarlet colour [2847], and [2532] decked [5558] with gold [5557] and [2532] precious [5093] stones [3037] and [2532] pearls [3135], having [2192] a golden [5552] cup [4221] in [1722] her [846] hand [5495] full of [1073] abominations [946] and [2532] filthiness [168] of her [846] fornication [4202]:
16 And [2532] were carried over [3346] into [1519] Sychem [4966], and [2532] laid [5087] in [1722] the sepulchre [3418] that [3739] Abraham [11] bought [5608] for a sum [5092] of money [694] of [3844] the sons [5207] of Emmor [1697] the father [3588] of Sychem [4966].
2 And [2532] kept back [3557] part of [575] the price [5092], his [846] wife [1135] also [2532] being privy [4894] to it, and [2532] brought [5342] a certain [5100] part [3313], and laid [5087] it at [3844] the apostles [652]' feet [4228].
3 But [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Ananias [367], why [1302] hath Satan [4567] filled [4137] thine [4675] heart [2588] [4571] to lie [5574] to the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] to keep back [3557] part of [575] the price [5092] of the land [5564]?
34 Neither [3761] [1063] was [5225] there any [5100] among [1722] them [846] that lacked [1729]: for [1063] as many as [3745] were [5225] possessors [2935] of lands [5564] or [2228] houses [3614] sold them [4453], and brought [5342] the prices [5092] of the things that were sold [4097],
6 And [1161] the chief priests [749] took [2983] the silver pieces [694], and said [2036], It is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] for to put [906] them [846] into [1519] the treasury [2878], because [1893] it is [2076] the price [5092] of blood [129].
25 Whom [3739] God [2316] hath set forth [4388] to be a propitiation [2435] through [1223] faith [4102] in [1722] his [846] blood [129], to [1519] declare [1732] his [846] righteousness [1343] for [1223] the remission [3929] of sins [265] that are past [4266], through [1722] the forbearance [463] of God [2316];
14 Wherefore [1352], beloved [27], seeing that ye look for [4328] such things [5023], be diligent [4704] that ye may be found [2147] of him [846] in [1722] peace [1515], without spot [784], and [2532] blameless [298].
27 Pure [2513] religion [2356] and [2532] undefiled [283] before [3844] God [2316] and [2532] the Father [3962] is [2076] this [3778], To visit [1980] the fatherless [3737] and [2532] widows [5503] in [1722] their [846] affliction [2347], and to keep [5083] himself [1438] unspotted [784] from [575] the world [2889].
14 That thou [4571] keep [5083] this commandment [1785] without spot [784], unrebukeable [423], until [3360] the appearing [2015] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
14 How much [4214] more [3123] shall [2511] the blood [129] of Christ [5547], who [3739] through [1223] the eternal [166] Spirit [4151] offered [4374] himself [1438] without spot [299] to God [2316], purge [2511] your [5216] conscience [4893] from [575] dead [3498] works [2041] to [1519] serve [3000] the living [2198] God [2316]?
20 But whatsoever hath a blemish [03971], that shall ye not offer [07126]: for it shall not be acceptable [07522] for you.
5 Your lamb [07716] shall be without blemish [08549], a male [02145] of the first [01121] year [08141]: ye shall take [03947] it out from the sheep [03532], or from the goats [05795]:
35 Again [3825] the next day after [1887] John [2491] stood [2476], and [2532] two [1417] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101];
36 And [2532] looking upon [1689] Jesus [2424] as he walked [4043], he saith [3004], Behold [2396] the Lamb [286] of God [2316]!
37 And [2532] the two [1417] disciples [3101] heard [191] him [846] speak [2980], and [2532] they followed [190] Jesus [2424].
38 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] turned [4762], and [2532] saw [2300] them [846] following [190], and saith [3004] unto them [846], What [5101] seek ye [2212]? [1161] They said [2036] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], (which [3739] is to say [3004], being interpreted [2059], Master [1320],) where [4226] dwellest thou [3306]?
39 He saith [3004] unto them [846], Come [2064] and [2532] see [1492]. They came [2064] and [2532] saw [1492] where [4226] he dwelt [3306], and [2532] abode [3306] with [3844] him [846] that [1565] day [2250]: for [1161] it was [2258] about [5613] the tenth [1182] hour [5610].
40 One [1520] of [1537] the two [1417] which [3588] heard [191] [3844] John [2491] speak, and [2532] followed [190] him [846], was [2258] Andrew [406], Simon [4613] Peter's [4074] brother [80].
41 He [3778] first [4413] findeth [2147] his own [2398] brother [80] Simon [4613], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], We have found [2147] the Messias [3323], which [3739] is [2076], being interpreted [3177], the Christ [5547].
42 And [2532] he brought [71] him [846] to [4314] Jesus [2424]. And [1161] when Jesus [2424] beheld [1689] him [846], he said [2036], Thou [4771] art [1488] Simon [4613] the son [5207] of Jona [2495]: thou [4771] shalt be called [2564] Cephas [2786], which [3739] is by interpretation [2059], A stone [4074].
